“I’m bored, there’s nothing to do”.

As summer vacation begins for thousands of children this is far too often a familiar complaint. But boredom is generally a totally self-inflicted problem.

The antidote to boredom is curiosity. Curiosity happens when you start to explore the world around you.

You will be less likely to feel bored if you go out, get active, pick up a new hobby, or even volunteer. You will be too busy learning new things or meeting new people to feel bored.

For children the anticipation of summer-fun wanes as the summer goes on and all those previously fun activities start to feel stale.
